Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents Arrived home safely and upon his arrival found many anxious people sick at home so he was kept busy until ten that evening; his visit to Enfield was one of the happiest memories of his life, and his thoughts often linger there; "the dignified, pleasant and agreeable manner of your mother- and the innocent lively, girlish and captivating spirit of your 'big-little' sister, added largely to the pleasure of my visit, and I really felt while with them that I was in the house of my friends"; Mr. Bogart continues to tease him and asked many questions about his [JFB's] trip; is more anxious to see her than he was before he went to Enfield and cannot stand the idea of not seeing her for two or three months; tried hard to conceal his "really sad feelings when I left you" as there were several hours around; wonders if she feels the same sadness; Nell complains of not receiving a letter from her. 8pp. ALS
